Briefings

Portuguese taxi regulations were suspended for 60 days after the Federal Taxi Federation rejected economic proposals, delaying the implementation of a new fixed-price system. The new rule, effective October 23, 2026, establishes a reference price based on distance and time, with adjustments allowed up to January 2027. The regulator acknowledged the Federation's operational proposals but rejected economic input, leaving the final text undisclosed to associations.

Key points

• The Federal Taxi Federation (FPT) rejected economic proposals, causing the suspension of the new regulation for 60 days.
• The new regulation, effective October 23, 2026, sets a fixed price based on distance and time rather than a fixed fare.

Context

The Lisbon Airport taxi price plan is launching on October 23, 2026. The regulator aims to simplify the pricing system, though the final text was not delivered to associations, leaving the exact implementation details uncertain.

Limitations

The evidence covers the regulatory suspension, effective date, and price calculation method. It does not specify the final adjusted prices or the exact timeline for the 90-day adaptation period.
